Chelsea will unveil their new third kit for the 2026/27 season during Saturday's Premier League match against Everton. Xabi Alonso's team will hit the field at Hill Dickinson donning a white kit that pays homage to the club's storied past.
Fresh from a commanding 5-1 victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, the Blues are set to embark on their first away trip of the season beyond London.
The eye-catching new kit, crafted by Nike, boasts a retro design with blue accents on the collar and sleeves along with thin vertical red stripes.
Particularly notable is the vintage Chelsea crest, positioned next to a gold emblem celebrating the club's triumph at last summer's Club World Cup.
In designing the kit, Nike drew on the away kits of Chelsea from the 1980s and 90s, with the 1992/93 season serving as the primary source of inspiration.
During that era, Chelsea's gear was produced by Umbro, with Commodore serving as the main sponsor. Initially met with mixed reviews from supporters, the unique design ultimately gained a cult following.
The new kit continues this legacy by marrying recognizable elements of the past with a modern twist.
This season, Chelsea has already showcased two other kits. In their traditional blue, they secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Fulham but suffered a defeat to Arsenal.
The black away kit, featuring neon yellow lettering and logos, debuted in a 3-0 loss to Brentford.
All three kits now proudly display the USDC by Circle logo. In August, Chelsea signed a one-year deal with Circle Internet Group, having started the season without a main sponsor on their shirts.
Thus, the matchup with Everton will not only serve as a test for Xabi Alonso's team but also mark the inaugural outing of a kit that resonates with one of the most iconic chapters in Chelsea's history.
